Trying something new

I am trying to email my post to the blog then I do not have to keep going on each blog to post. :) We will see if this works. I will post more later after I figure this out. :)

Slugs! Ughk!!

Yes the dreaded creature has managed to get into our kitchen!! We have had loads of them in our back garden that K has been patroling at night with his flash light and salt shaker!! Quite a cute site. :) But now they are IN MY KITCHEN!! eeek! On the counter in my strainer and now......last night mum and dad and H came for a cup of tea after evening service. I was in the kitchen boiling the kettle etc etc when I reached INSIDE my cupboard took out a tea cup and what was staring at me but a LARGE slug! UUUUUGHGHGHKKKK! Needless to say I screamed...K and his dad started laughing knowing all to well what had happened. Thankfully K took him outside an disposed of him.....with salt should I say.....well thought that would be the end of them for a bit...but....R went to get up on to a stool this morning for breakfast and there sitting on top of the stool was a slimmy big creature....yes a slug! this time I didnt squeal but the kids went running upstairs to K and told him so he came down and disposed of that one as well. Have not seen anymore the rest of the day but a little worried everytime I pick up a tea cup or bowl I am wincing! Cannot seem to get rid of these little things. ANY IDEAS would be helpful! :)
Okay that is all for now. Will try and get photos up soon.

update, birthday etc.

Okay just a quick update to let you know we are still here. The last two months have been CRAZY! We have gone from colds to stomach virus to colds then T ended up on antibiotics with a broncial infection. And these colds last WEEKS I mean like 6-8 weeks! Even Ks parents have gotten it bad. I even lost my voice for a week with it! Then last week R and T started vomiting again! Had anyone ever dealt with what the Drs call a night vomit? That is the only term they can figure out what to call it. The child vomits once maybe twice in a night then eats and is fine during the day then does it again at night, It can last anywere from 2 to 5 days off and on. Its crazy! Well that is what we seem to have here. But thankfully no one has vomited in the last week! So lets hope that stage is over. We are bound to get these different viruses with the kids and myself being daily exposed to other childrens germs. But we will get used to them eventually. :)

Then last weekend I thought right I will get a post with pics up....well.... then I started not feeling to well, to make a long story short Ks parents ended up taking the three oldest to church on Sabbath while K took me to A&E I was in alot of pain. Turns out I had a bad UTI infection. Never had one before so did not know the symtems. But now I do. Won't have that problem again. I am feeling loads better now, on a strong dose of antibiotics. Have since come off the pain killers. so that is one good thing.

So I hope now to be better in getting more things put up here on a regular basis. :)

And today is Rs 5th birthday!! He is so excited to be 5! I have gotten some biscuits from the local bakery I am going to take into school this afternoon to give to all his friends, they are little faces with glasses drawn on them they look like R! The kids just take biscuits into school instead of having a big party with friends here. They love doing that. :) I cant believe my little boy is 5 already! It is also his Aunty Hs birthday! Happy birthday to both of you!

Cold and rainy here today. Has been raining now for days. Actually sleeting. Not pleasant walking to school but thankfully we only walk two blocks. :)

Okay here are some pics of R that were taken over the last year.
